Quotable
"It was good. The pins were definitely more difficult than yesterday. I hit the ball way better and kept it clean for the most part. Lag putting was pretty essential today. The speed was good, and I was just good inside of five feet with the putter. I think that kind of held it together." – Rogers on his day

Breakdown

• It was tough going at the start for the field in general. The Mocs littered four birdies over the front nine but made the turn at 7 over.
• Once again, they used a strong back nine to create separation. The Mocs and Catamounts were tied a 1 under early in the back nine when the good guys played 6 under on the par 4 14th (-1) and par 5 15th (-5).
• The Mocs have held 36-hole lead once this season. That was 18 holes ahead of the win at the Racer Intercollegiate.
• Rogers is tied for the tourney lead in par 3 scoring at 2 under (2.8), while Braidech leads on par 4s at 1 under (3.94).
• Law's eagle at 15 today made him one of 11 in the field with an eagle this week. That list includes Braidech after his at 11 on Monday.
• Whitaker is tied with Western Carolina's Tyler Jones for most birdies with 11.
• Harris is 6 over on the front side this week and 4 under on the back.
• Wednesday's final round is being pushed back to 10:30 a.m., due to inclement weather expected in the early morning. Law will lead the Mocs off at 11:20 a.m., off of No. 1 paired with Furman.
